Maybe: Some manufacturers suggest their pill is effective within days,but if this is your 1st pill use, many docs recommend a backup form of BC for the first 2-4 weeks until the body has adapted to the pill.The problem of the squirts & possibly not absorbing the med in the pill complicate the issue.The pill tries to prevent her from releasing an egg. If it did not achieve that goal, pregnancy is possibl
